The Hammers' 2-1 win over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City last weekend leaves them in fourth place, with five wins from nine games.

The opening goal against City was scored by one of their new signings, as Amalfitano tapped home a pull back from Valencia to put West Ham in front, bagging his second goal for the club since joining from Marseille this summer.

"I hope to contribute and to stay here. I never had any doubts about making this choice," said the Frenchman.

"I just had to prepare myself physically in line with what I did with Marseille. Then I could get back to my best. I'm adapting well and I hope it carries on this way in the future. But we can't rest because there is still a long road ahead."
